Yeah that's why I specified "without any other experience," it's certainly possible to transfer if you can show that you know how to code well enough and you have experience but you're basically paying $xx thousand for the college degree that functionally will do the same thing for your job prospects as a CS degree except with the added stigma of "this guy can only program video games because they got a degree in video games" and much less experience coding things that are not videogames

I know this is from a bit back, but if I was a multi-millionaire this is the first thing I would buy. Or, at least, something like it. I challenge you to name one thing in life that feels better than a brand new pair of boxer briefs.

Everyone knows that a blowjob is better than new briefs. Shifting from good with pleasure to BWM it turns out that if you live next door to a lottery winner you're more likely to go bankrupt. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/pers...k&ICID=ref_fark quote:The 2016 paper, "Does Inequality Cause Financial Distress? Evidence from Lottery Winners and Neighboring Bankruptcies," found that the neighbors of winners bought cars, motorcycles, even houses. Worse, the higher the lottery prize, the higher the value of flashy assets purchased by neighbors who in some cases then had to file for bankruptcy themselves.

If you're a lawyer or doctor and suddenly someone in your neighborhood is driving around in a Rolls you are gonna feel like you gotta up your game.

Any way I think to explain it just sounds douchey, so I'll just get it over with. She was a sheltered foreign girl with a free ride to a highly ranked university and a mindset of "do I want to be a doctor or lawyer?" Talked of having me meet her family, etc, and as long as I was devoted to her, she would make enough for both of us. Realistically though, I can't see how that would have lasted.  I was too young to handle being with one person for the rest of my life, so that didn't work out.

So, basically, you didn't have anything even remotely like a free ride to becoming a kept husband. I was hoping it would have been some sort of heiress whose father would have refused to let her or the man she marries work for a living.
